Conde Nast Traveller, a luxury upmarket magazine for the independent traveller, has named British Airways the number one airline for short-haul and long-haul holidays in the world.
The Travellers Choice Awards are chosen by readers and editors; they commented that BA is ‘ahead of the competition in almost all regards’ in particular for its ‘service and range of routes’. The airline was also named the third best airline for business travel, with Qatar Airways and Emirates coming first and second respectively.
